This is a must win game for both sides if they are to reach the play off stages.

Ladies Football: St. Dominics Roscommon Leisure Zone sponsored Junior team faced a competitive Four Roads at St. Dominic’s in Round 3 of their Championship on Sunday the 31st of July in front of a good home crowd and we gave the supporters a game to watch with the home side going in at half time a point down. We had lots of scoring chances but unfortunately we lacked the confidence to convert them. The second half saw a different story with St. Dominic’s winning the kick outs and this time converting their scores. Susan Spillane, Caroline Dowling, Niamh Watson, Aine O’Meara and Nicole Dolan among the scorers. Once again the backs doing an excellent job with Aisling and Eimear McNally, Sinead Morris and Sorcha Casey standing out. Aisling Byrne was very strong in midfield. It was great to see such a large panel of girls with a full subs bench to call on. St. Dominic’s were deserving winners on a scoreline of 2-13 to 1-04 and are through to the semi-final which will take place on the 8th of August, opposition and location to be confirmed.
